How we maintain our AS9100 certification.

AS9100 is a certification that advances on the ISO 9001 quality standard requirements with additional elements focused on the aerospace and defence industries. The AS9100 certification fulfils ISO 9001 standards as well as DOD, NASA, and FAA requirements. It takes a lot of effort and organisation to maintain this standard, but it's extremely important. This article will highlight why and how Boneham and Turner Ltd. maintains this standard and how it benefits our clients in the aerospace industry.

Why is AS9100 so important?

All companies operating in the aerospace and defence industries must demonstrate quality assurance at the highest level for their manufacturing techniques. As expected, malfunctioning parts of an aircraft can become extremely destructive, posing not only safety risks but also impacting logistical components of the manufacturing process. The AS9100 standard is internationally recognised as a necessary certification that proves manufacturers adhere to a comprehensive quality management process.

How we maintain AS9100 standards.

AS9100 requires certified companies to prove their ability to remeasure and reassess products during the construction phase, which ensures mass-produced items are consistent. The audits are specific to each company but focus on a range of set premises:

1. Risk management.
2. Attention to special requirements and critical items
3. Measuring requirements conformance and delivery performance.
4. Adoption of proven product development procedures.
5. Eliminating any recurring corrective actions

We have been and will always remain dedicated to constantly improving our operations company-wide. Our team of quality inspectors and production staff consistently distributes tens of thousands of products monthly, with an accuracy of over 99.7%. Our purchasing team ensures our supply chain remains consistent with our high expectations of quality and certification. And our dedicated solutions experts and design engineers help our clients achieve their goals with tailored solutions.

We take our role to infinitely improve seriously, all with the goal of providing our clients with the best products and legendary customer service. Proven by 100% of surveyed customers being "very satisfied" with the overall service they received.

The benefits of using an AS9100-certified company.

AS9100 is a standardised certification recognised globally. Using an AS9100-certified supplier means you can be assured your parts are coming from a business that adheres to strict quality management processes. Certified companies must also use approved and registered suppliers, which means you can track your supply chain fully.
